That’s the normal road, not the “one lane” part where half the road is caved away. And just in case the picture might be slightly deceptive and it looks like a wide road, if two vehicles encounter each other, at least one, if not both, will have tires off the edge of the road (in the “two lane” part).

Do you like books? I sure do! I found the following list on Jendi’s site and thought it would be fun.
The Big Read is a USA National Endowment for the Arts program designed to encourage community reading initiatives and of their top 100 books, they estimate the average adult has read only six.
Here’s what we are supposed to do:
Look at the list and bold those we have read.
Italicize those we intend to read.
Underline (or colour) the books we LOVE .
Share this list in your blog, too, if you like.
